"I have suffered with severe hives for more than 8 years. About one year ago my fourth doctor discovered I had H-Pylori. After treatment I remained hive free for almost 8 months. This summer minor reoccurances started back but are controlled with one Xyzal at night, not 100% effective but close to 85%."

"This medicine is making me miserable. Have been through nose bleeding, depression, difficulties in concentrating, loss of short-term memory and I was lightheaded all the time. Practically I've been through the majority of the possible side effects that got mentioned. Sadly I didn't manage to relate my personal health condition to this horrendous medicine earlier otherwise I would have already stopped taking this awful drug . Based on what I've been through, the risk of suffering from this drug certainly outweighs the benefits involved and thereby please walk away from this bloody thing"

"Following the insertion of two stents to treat a serious occlusion of the arteries, I was prescribed the usual cardiac drugs plus omeprozole, and a year or so later Lasix to counteract the usual old age swelling of the prostate. Since taking these drugs I have developed urticaria. The dermatologist prescribed Xozal and a cream for 30 days which was 100% successful with the urticaria. I believe that one of the aforementioned drugs that I mentioned was responsible for the urticaria. After a couple of weeks without the Xozal & the cream, the urticaria returned. Using the cream on its own does not stop the urticaria, but the Xozal alone is 95% effective. I now need to check with the urologist about long term use of Xozal."

"I was hoping that it would help with the itching from psoriasis but I got very little to no relief. I took it at night like the directions instructed but I still could not get a good night sleep and during the day I still had severe itching."

"I agree with some others who have reported results from this drug for chronic idiopathic urticarial. I have been on it for two weeks, and having no symptoms. I have been on prednisone twice this year. I hope this drug continues to work. I’ll give it a 10."

"I've had cholinergic urticaria for months now, and let me tell you that it's an absolutely miserable condition to have. Any form of heat exposure, whether that be the sun, exercise, etc., would cause a massive flare-up where I'd be in severe, itchy pain. First day on Xyzal, out in the sun at midday in Florida (you can imagine how fun it is living here with CU!), and my pain was minimal and took longer (about 15ish minutes as opposed to 5 minutes) for it to set in. The red spots still do appear on my arms, but they aren't painful. It does appear that the redness doesn't appear as much on my chest area, at least not from what I can tell. I take the usual 5mg once daily as needed - I don't take it if I don't expect to go outside or otherwise be exposed to heat. The only reason why I'm not rating this a 10 is that it does make me slightly drowsy."

"Works as well as Zyrtec but non-drowzy. I take Xyzal in the morning and Zyrtec in the evening for chronic idiopathic urticaria with angioedema."

"Worst anti-histamine ever. It clears up sinuses and even some post-nasal drip, but it makes one extremely tired and achy the next day. Not motivated to do anything. I took it 3 days, never again."

"This cleared up an allergic reaction caused by an antibiotic I was taking as well as allergy symptoms to molds at the same time - very fast acting too. Not as sleepy as with Benadryl, either."
